My Grandfather said he never cleaned any of his coins and ive never cleaned them at all. Now before had had them im not sure if anyone else cleaned them. Can i ask you a question, does it matter if coins are cleaned and if it is what would someone clean them or is it best to never clean them ? Thanks for you qusetion and time !!!!
Cleaned coins bring less at coin auctions and coin graders grade them lower. It is better to leave a coin in their natural state! Cleaning the creates an environmental damage effect that both bring down the value of the coin and bidders at auction houses frown upon. Hope this helps!
Ya, I agree. Cleaning any coin is one of the biggest "no no's" in coin collecting, some collectors won't even consider buying them. Third party graders (PCGS, NGC etc) will either "body bag" them and send them back no slabbed, or put them in a slab that reads "details cleaned" slab and it would bring maybe 30% less at time of sale. I believe that cleaning isn't considered environmental damage, that's more corrosion, verdigris etc. slabbed coins with environmental damage read "details environmental damage.. Cleaned ones are labeled as such. Easy ways to tell are under magnification you can see hairline scratches, or the fields (area around image) will be clean and shiny but the hard to reach spots will still have "grime".
